Ok, I have a friend that wants to have a NAS device that has RAID 1, but will also allow for automatic backups of all files on both his computers. Both are Macs FWIW. He just wants to plug it into his router, and install something on BOTH machines to do automatic backups.

SECONDLY, he wants to leave a bit of space on the array for ADDITIONAL HDD space for one of the macs that has a small HDD... so basically unload a bit of information(pics and videos) onto one part of the array, and leave the rest for backup space.

We are looking at something with 750GB-1TB.

Thanks,
QJ
 
I guess the first question I would ask is what kind of budget is he thinking? 2nd is he wanting something prebuilt that he can just buy and drop in place/throw HDs in and go, or the DIY route? DLinks 321 series has a 2 bay Gigabit NAS that another member recommended to me when I asked a similar question last week... I went a different route and decided to build a Core2 server with Sever 08 on it.... (to each their own) and hes obviously a fruity kind of guy :D
 
Yeah, he likes Apples!! :D

No, it doesn't have to be pre-built... I can throw it together for him.
